Protein Family Models

This entry represents de C-terminal domain of kynureninase [1-5], a member of a large family of catalytically diverse but structurally homologous pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) dependent enzymes. The Homo sapiens and other eukaryotic constitutive kynureninases preferentially catalyse the hydrolytic cleavage of 3-hydroxy-l-kynurenine to produce 3-hydroxyanthranilate and l-alanine, while l-kynurenine is the substrate of many prokaryotic inducible kynureninases [1-5]..

The members of this family are probably all pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase enzymes with a variety of molecular functions. The family includes StsA Swiss:P72454, StsC Swiss:P77952 and StsS [1]. The aminotransferase activity was demonstrated for purified StsC protein as the L-glutamine:scyllo-inosose aminotransferase EC:2.6.1.50, which catalyses the first amino transfer in the biosynthesis of the streptidine subunit of streptomycin [1].
